Bhagavad-G��ta: relevance to modern times

The most profound text in the canon of Hindu literature is The Bhagavad-Gīta a sacred text which most translators call Song of the Lord. It''s a philosophical discourse between a warrior named Arjuna and the God Kṛṣṇa. The Bhagavad-Gita belongs to the sixth book of a martial epic known as Mahābhārata and The Bhagavad-Gīta stands out as the most popular narrative of the entire collection. Divided into 18 Chapters the text begins on a battlefield where Arjuna expresses pity at the prospect of battling his kinsmen and friends. He pleads with his charioteer Lord Kṛṣṇa for insight on proper conduct; and this is where the philosophical rapport begins and the divine mentor patiently relates the secrets of equanimity.
